"Sister Jiang, are you guys done?"
As the three of them returned to the company, An Ran, who spotted them, immediately scooted over with her chair once Teacher Xue returned to her office.
Jiang Qin was in a good mood and happy to chat with her, "Yes~ Now we're just waiting for it to be archived and filed."
"Wow~" Qin An Ran's eyes widened in surprise!
"Sister Jiang, your speed has broken through again this time~"
Indeed!
Jiang Qin hadn't seen anyone in their office working on this kind of project with such efficiency before.
"Ah~" Jiang Qin casually waved her hand, "It's also thanks to Xiao Xi, otherwise it might have been delayed further."
Qin An Ran's admiration was well-founded; if it were based on her previous speed, the project progress wouldn't have been this fast.
"I'm envious~"
Qin An Ran looked at them longingly, "When can Xiao Xi work with me too..."
"She wants to take a break too~"
As soon as Qin An Ran finished speaking, Lin Yixin and the others nearby, who were just listening in, joined in the fun.
"She wants to too~"
"......"
For a moment, both Qiu Xi and Jiang Qin were stunned into silence.
"Alright, alright, you guys should hurry up and get back to work!" Jiang Qin finally waved them away.
"She's right here, so hurry up and finish your work, you're not afraid of not having opportunities~"
"Yes, yes, yes~ Sister Jiang is right!"
Watching them return to their seats, Jiang Qin shook her head and chuckled.
"Xiao Xi~ It seems you're exceptionally popular~"
She had been here for so long, arguably the longest besides Teacher Xue.
Since bringing An Ran and the others into the industry, she had never seen them joke with her like this.
Qiu Xi heard the teasing in Jiang Qin's voice and subtly raised her eyebrows, responding with a playful remark.
"Sister Jiang, shall I give you this good fortune, would you like it~"
"Me... I'd better pass!" Jiang Qin shook her head without a second thought.
Such laborious work should be left to the younger generation; she was content with her small corner, which was more than enough.
Taking on so much, with one person accompanying another's task, she couldn't handle it.
Having money is useless if you don't have the life to spend it!
Not everyone was as clever as Qiu Xi!
If she thought about it any longer, she'd start getting jealous...
"Forget it, forget it, let's just get back to work."
"Mhm!" Qiu Xi nodded in agreement.
"Working is what's important!"
It wasn't that working was important, but leaving early was more important.
Qiu Xi had been here for over a month now, and she increasingly missed the days when she could control her own time.
But it was almost time now~
If she could just endure a bit longer, she would be done with her internship~
Thinking this, Qiu Xi's movements became even faster.
Because the project was successfully completed, after Qiu Xi and the others finished the information archival, Xue Han very generously allowed them to leave early.
Finally, under the envious gazes of everyone else, the two of them walked out of the company briskly.
......
"Xiao Xi, are you coming?"
A few days later, on a day off, Qiu Xi was called by her roommates.
"Mhm... I've packed, I'll be back soon..."
Woken up early in the morning, Qiu Xi was still groggy and had only managed to pack half of her things.
She kept responding distractedly, but she wasn't ready yet...
"Okay, then we'll see you at school later, bye-bye~"
"Mhm... bye..."
As soon as the phone call ended, Qiu Xi stood there in a daze for a long time.
It wasn't until her mother knocked on the bedroom door that she slowly began to feel more alert.
Glancing at the alarm clock on the desk beside her, Qiu Xi quickly got moving.
She had arranged to meet Song Daiyao and the others at 9:30, and it was already almost 9 o'clock...
Washing up, tidying up, packing her things... Qiu Xi acted swiftly for ten minutes...
When she came downstairs with her bag, her mother stopped her.
"Xiao Xi, why are you rushing like that!"
"Come here quickly, eat your breakfast first."
It wasn't good for a child not to eat breakfast!
"Mom!"
"I'm almost late, I'll eat on the way... Bye-bye~"
Sticking out her free hand, Qiu Xi quickly grabbed a breakfast bread from the table and put it in her mouth.
She also managed to grab a bottle of milk before running out of the house.
A little past 9:30, Qiu Xi arrived at their meeting place.
"Phew~"
"You're all here~"
Finding a seat nearby, Qiu Xi greeted the three of them.
"Mhm, just arrived."
"Xiao Xi, did you have breakfast? We still have some here, we just bought it."
Seeing Qiu Xi in a slight hurry, Liang Yunfei handed her a bottle of water.
"Thanks~ I ate a little on the way, this will just be a little top-up..."
She was close to her sisters, so Qiu Xi wasn't polite.
"What about you guys, are you all set?"
"We're ready, if you hadn't arrived just now, we would have started chatting." Shen Yan replied with a light smile.
Qiu Xi nodded, "That's perfect then~"
"How about you guys take a look first..." As Qiu Xi spoke, she took out the spreadsheet she had stuffed into her backpack the night before.
"This is mine, you guys take a look."
Qiu Xi had already finished organizing most of it when the notice was posted by the institute a few days ago.
After the institute's notice came out, she refined it further according to the specific requirements.
The reason they were gathered here today was to look at this.
Given its importance, they felt it would be more convenient to discuss it in person.
"Okay~"
As soon as Qiu Xi took hers out, Song Daiyao and the other two also took out theirs.
"Then you eat first, we'll look."
Saying that, the three of them started exchanging and looking at each other's work.
They had been together for four years, and their relationship was pure; they trusted each other implicitly when it came to such important matters.
If they couldn't get it approved, they would aim to be admitted through further study!
In fact, they had started preparing before the summer break.
Including this one, they were making contingency plans.
It would be a bit late to start preparing in September.
Qiu Xi took some time to finish her breakfast, wiped her hands with a wet wipe, and then joined the three of them in reviewing the documents.
They took turns exchanging them, and each person used a pen of a different color to make annotations.
After more than ten minutes, Qiu Xi, who had started looking last, was the first to put down her pen.
She capped her pen and stealthily stretched her arms.
She even poked her head out, looking here and there, pointing at things. Before long, Song Daiyao and the others also stopped.
Qiu Xi asked softly, "Done?"
"Mhm, done!"
Shen Yan even smiled and said to Qiu Xi.
"If yours, Xiao Xi, was too long, I would have finished long ago~"
"Hahahahaha~"
"Yours, Xiao Xi, is indeed a bit long."
This time, they were not only auditing the reporting materials but also looked into the resume issues, which was a form of being prepared for anything.
"......"
